Its raw honey really you have to avoid.
raw honey can give a baby Infant Botulism . http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/infant-…
Yes, honey can cause infant botulism. Honey is a known source of bacterial spores that produce Clostridium botulinum bacteria. When ingested by infants, these bacteria make a toxin that can cause infant botulism, a rare and serious form of food poisoning. For this reason, infants under 12 months of age should never be fed honey.
Infant botulism affects a baby’s nervous system and can result in death. Most babies with infant botulism, however, do recover. Signs and symptoms of infant botulism include:
Persistent constipation
Floppy arms, legs and neck
Weak cry due to muscle weakness
Weak sucking and poor feeding
Tired all the time (lethargy)
Difficulty breathing
Botulism spores may also be found in low-acid home-canned foods and corn syrup. For this reason, you should avoid feeding these foods to infants.

I wouldn’t give a baby any product that has raw honey in it. I think the issue is with honey is salmonella so I’m pretty sure that something with honey as an ingredient (ie honey bunches of oats cereal) wouldn’t do any harm. For me, I don’t give my child anything that I have to second guess if it’s okay for them or not.

NO!
Let me rewrite your question that wil make it clear.
I know that arsenic is bad for babies, so I wouldn’t give it to my kid, but what about an arsenic milkshake, as it is only an ingredient? I’m sure that would be fine.
Really, honey is honey. Whether the kid eats it straight or glazed on cheerios, it is bad. Don’t do it.
